SOUTH TAMAQUA — A 21-year-old Andreas man died from injuries he suffered in a one-vehicle crash on Route 309 in West Penn Township early Sunday morning.

Schuylkill County Deputy Coroner David Truskowsky, Mahanoy City, said he pronounced Matthew Fannock dead at the scene of the crash at 7:10 a.m.

West Penn Township police could not be reached for information on the crash Sunday.

The crash occurred about 6 a.m. on Route 309, just south of the intersection with Route 443 westbound.

Truskowsky said Fannock was a front-seat passenger in a vehicle along with the driver and another passenger.

The driver was traveling south, went off the left side of the road and up a small embankment, causing the vehicle to roll over and come to a stop on its wheels, Truskowsky said.

Fannock was not wearing a seat belt. Truskowsky said he did not know the extent of the injuries suffered by the other two people inside the vehicle.

An Pennsylvania State Police accident reconstruction team from the Schuylkill Haven station assisted West Penn Township police with their investigation.
